Ernest. Where?

Teodora. To him.

Ernest. We cannot. [Detains her.]

Teodora. Why not? I want him to live.

Ernest. And I!—but I cannot. [Points to Don Julian's room.]

Teodora. Then I will. [Rushes to the door.]

LAST SCENE

Teodora, Ernest, Don Severo and Pepito. Ernest stands on the right in the middle of the stage, Teodora near the door of Don Julian's room. Pepito and, behind him, Don Severo, bar the way.

Pepito. Where are you going?

Teodora. [In desperation.] I must see him.
